>>7920197No, the books describe it as a "Scarlet Steam Engine"
We also have the point that in Prisoner of Azkhaban, Hermione said she saw going to talk to the driver. The ride takes all day, with no reported stops. It's for this reason I suspect the engine would have been of an LNER design, as talking to the driver would not be easy without a corridor tender, and a journey of that length would require water troughs, which the LNER were the first to design.

Hell, even the Baldwin Consolidation locos you shipped over here were fucking awful.
